Product Name Misrepresents the Product

The switch unit is 6.5''x3'', and they call it ''PalmTop'' suggesting it requires a small amount of space. When all cables and wires are connected, space required is at least 12''x12''.
''Palmtop'' in the product name is a misrepresentation. Software caused a number of problems and I had to stop using it. This company spent more money designing the box than was spent designing the product.

Works for me

My old PS2 KVM switch didn't have a button-press method to switch computers. You had to press scroll-lock twice and then 1-4. I prefer buttons. This has scroll-lock too, but it just cycles, 1 then 2 then 3 then 4, so I don't use it. Haven't even installed the software so can't evaluate it.

Bad desing of the switch

I just spoke with their tech support and they confirmed it:
The switch is design so that every single time you switch from one computer to the other, the computer you leave detects the keyboard and mouse as unplugging and the computer you go to detects it as NEW DEVICE! So every time you switch all computers beeps for nothing and you have to wait for the autodetec to install the mouse and keyboard and sometime you get stuck without the mouse or without the keyboard or bought.
Terrible design I will get Trendnet like I already have and that works faster and better...

Weird VMWare behaviour

I tried to replace several older PS2 KVMs with these USB models. I ran into an unexpected behaviour when using them with vSphere Client 4.1. When ever the keyboard-mouse control is passed to a VM from the desktop, the KVM detects the keyboard-PC as not there anymore, and immediately switched to the next PC on the KVM. I found no solution other then to go back to the original KVMs. I was happy with their cost-feature set, cheaper then old PS2 models with cables!
